Most of the shot types seen on these magazine covers are close ups or mid shots, this is because GQ magazine want to emphasise who is the star cover through close up and the use of mid shot enables us to see there clothing which creates a from of identity for them in which the audience portray them to be—usually in suits which relates to culturally sophisticated audience type which are upper-middle class predominately.

The typography is very similar throughout each magazine which may be due to the fact that it wants its audience to familiarize with who they are as a company. Also it is significant as it relates to the celebrities on the front cover who are seen as ’clean, fine and crisp’ so in that sense the typography is very important in terms of portrayal of the figure at the front.
The type of clothing worn by each individual relates to there characteristics and who they are. For example, Connor McGregor is seen wearing a brown leather jacket with a white t-shirt—this relates back to his character as he is known to be ’cool, calm and collective’ and this image perfectly fits with that description. GQ has intentionally done this in order to showcase to the audience that they will present a interview which cannot be seen anywhere else and the idea of having a costume which relates to his character means that it will be honest and truthful statements , giving them that USP which will increase audience buying the magazine.
